Play, Discover and Grow With Tummy Time Toys
Tummy time toys are designed to keep curious little hands and eyes engaged while your baby is lying on their tummy, bringing play to life with different colours, sounds and textures. Adorable sensory activity toys from Done by Deer encourage your baby to reach, touch and explore during tummy time.
Meanwhile, the Sit & Play Baby Floor Seat from Mamas & Papas gives your baby a cosy spot for play as they discover the world around them. The Glenn Activity Blanket is another parent favourite from Liewood, which combines playful animal characters, crinkly fabrics and engaging textures to keep your baby busy and curious.
The Benefits of Tummy Time Toys
- Builds Strength Through Play
Think of tummy time as your baby's first workout, except it's all smiles, stretches and discovering something new. Every head lift, wiggle and reach helps strengthen their neck, back, shoulders and core muscles, giving them the strength they'll use for rolling, sitting and eventually crawling. The more opportunities your baby has to move and explore, the more confident they'll become with each new milestone.
- Supports Everyday Development
Reaching for toys, lifting their chest, pushing up through their arms and following colourful objects with their eyes all help develop coordination and motor skills. These playful moments lay the foundations for bigger milestones, from rolling and grabbing toys to crawling around the house.
- Encourages Sensory Exploration
Bright colours, soft fabrics, crinkly textures and different sounds all give your baby something new to discover. Tummy time toys encourage them to look, reach, touch and explore while helping them become more aware of how their body moves. You can make every session even more exciting by introducing different textures, chatting together or singing as your baby plays.
- Creates Special Time Together
Some of the best tummy time moments have nothing to do with the toys at all. Getting down on the floor together, cheering on every head lift and celebrating each new discovery is all part of the fun. It's a lovely chance to connect with your baby, share plenty of smiles and enjoy watching their confidence grow every day.
The right toys give your baby plenty to see, touch and explore, turning playtime into an opportunity to build new skills while having lots of fun.

It doesn't have to be one long session. Short bursts throughout the day are a great way to build confidence, and you can gradually increase the time as your baby becomes more comfortable and enjoys spending longer on their tummy.

Look for toys that encourage your baby to look, reach, touch and explore. Different textures, crinkly fabrics, mirrors, bright colours and sensory features all help keep playtime interesting while supporting your baby's natural curiosity.
How can I make tummy time more fun?
Getting down on the floor with your baby is one of the easiest ways to make tummy time more enjoyable. Chat, sing, smile and celebrate every reach, wiggle and head lift together.
